1990 Acura Integra GS from North America - Comments

Radiator leaked.

Outer CV boots cracked.

Oxygen sensor went bad.

Exhaust rusted.

Body panels rusted.

Camshaft seal leak.

Dash board climate control buttons failed (lights and functions).

ABS system has not failed, but it's making some weird noises.

The car runs wonderfully. At 154,000 hard-driven miles the suspension is softer than it once was but the engine pulls as strong as ever. It's not blistering performance but it's certainly a fun drive around town. 30 mpg, strong A/C.

Whenever something breaks I replace it with a performance item. I think Honda may have designed this car to be souped up. It has SO MUCH potential. There are a lot of windows: I highly recommend tinting them in sunny areas. One item breaks on the Integra for every 8 items that breaks on my girlfriend's '92 VW Passat (111K miles). If you take care of it (regular maintenance) it will last a long time (cheaply and reliably).

I have a 91 Integra GS with 130K miles.

Has been modified since 30K miles with:

HKS exhaust.

DC header.

K&N filter.

Tokico struts with Performance Technique springs (about 1.5" lowering") and 16" Momo Wheels.

My wife bought a new 4 door Accord and suggested I take her 97 Civic EX and sell mine. NO WAY!!! The Integra is a much better car even being 6 years older. It has more power, better handling, more room, better looks, anti-lock 4 disc brakes, leather... the list goes on. No VTEC, but a turbo is coming soon.

Hi I would like to add that I have a 1990 Integra gs as well and am very pleased with the overall performance as well as value and dependability. Since owning the car I have had only minor problems.

:alternator

:exhaust

:temperature control for heat and a/c has broken

:the hatch release cable has snapped

:the rear brakes make a squelling noice in the morning when I back out of my driveway, but the brakes work incredibly and considering the way I drive I am very impressed with the fact that I only have to change my pads once since owning the car in the past 3 and a half year.

This is to date I think, but am not for sure my seventh car and being used at that is for sure the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have considered buying another car, but would never consider selling my Integra for the fact that I would never get what I think the car is worth to me. I reccomend that anyone who owns or is planning on buying an Integra GO FOR IT, you can't go wrong.
